Novotel Danang Premier Han River - Family & Business trip hotel - Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026: A Bavarian-Inspired Weekend

Oktoberfest returns to Da Nang in early October with German beer, Bavarian food, music and lively communal tables. For a short break built around the festivities, Novotel Danang Premier Han River offers a welcoming base, where days begin beside the Han River and evenings end with a comfortable retreat after the celebrations. Below, you will find the essential event details, highlights, ticket prices and booking information, along with a three-day, two-night itinerary that leaves time for Oktoberfest, exploring Da Nang and simply unwinding.

Essential Details About Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026

Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026 takes place on Friday, 2 October 2026 at Furama Resort Danang, 103–105 Vo Nguyen Giap Street. Running from 18:00 to 23:00, the programme allows a full evening for food, music and festival activities.

GBA Oktoberfest Vietnam is an annual event organised by the German Business Association and AHK Vietnam, with this year’s Da Nang edition held in partnership with Furama Resort Danang. The organisers describe it as an opportunity for the German and Vietnamese communities and international visitors to come together in an atmosphere inspired by traditional Oktoberfest celebrations.

What Can You Experience at Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026?

Oktoberfest Vietnam 2026 brings the spirit of a German beer hall to Da Nang for an evening of food, beer, music and conversation. Part of the appeal of Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026 is the way the atmosphere builds throughout the evening, moving from dinner at long communal tables to livelier music as the night unfolds.

German Beer and a Beer Hall Atmosphere

The organisers have announced free-flow imported German beer alongside local craft beer throughout the programme. Large beer mugs, tables filled with guests and the shared ritual of raising a glass give the evening the feel of a beer hall gathering rather than a conventional restaurant dinner.

German and Bavarian Food

The German buffet features traditional dishes and Bavarian specialities. Familiar favourites such as pretzels, sausages and roasted dishes appear in GBA’s official event introduction, creating a hearty spread to accompany an evening of beer and celebration.

Music That Brings the Evening to Life

On stage, Austrian band O’zapft performs live before a DJ keeps the evening moving. Bavarian live music becomes an integral part of the experience, particularly as the atmosphere grows livelier after dinner.

Games and Conversation in a Bavarian Setting

For those drawn to Bavarian culture, part of Oktoberfest’s appeal lies in sharing the occasion with friends, colleagues and people you have just met. Games, interactive activities and prize presentations add playful interludes between food, music and conversation.

Three Days and Two Nights in Da Nang Around Oktoberfest

A stay from 1 to 3 October gives you time to enjoy the festival while leaving room for the city and a little rest. At 36–38 Bach Dang Street on the west bank of the Han River, Novotel Danang Premier Han River makes it easy to combine the city centre, the beach and Vo Nguyen Giap Street in a single trip.

Day 1: Check In Beside the Han River and Ease Into the Weekend

The first day is for arriving in the city, settling into your room and slowing down before the liveliest part of the trip. Superior Rooms measure 28 m², and most rooms in this category have a balcony overlooking the Han River or Thuan Phuoc Bridge, setting a relaxed tone for your stay.

From Bach Dang Street, spend the afternoon exploring Han River Bridge or strolling along the riverbank as the city lights begin to glow. Dragon Bridge is around 2 km from the hotel, so these riverside sights fit comfortably into a gentle first-day itinerary.

In the evening, German sausages and draught beer at GourmetBar offer an easy introduction to the celebrations ahead. The hotel’s Oktoberfest combo costs VND 450,000 net and is served daily from 10:00 to 22:00, making it a relaxed option for cold beer and hot food on the ground floor.

With GourmetBar on the ground floor of Novotel Danang Premier, the first evening can unfold entirely at the hotel, without another journey across town. Afterwards, returning to your room as the Han River lights up keeps the day unhurried while giving it a clear sense of being away.

Day 2: A Leisurely Day Before Oktoberfest Night

Friday, 2 October can begin with breakfast at The Square on the fourth floor, followed by a morning at the beach. Along the coastal road, My Khe Beach is around 10 to 12 minutes from the hotel, close enough for a morning listening to the waves before returning to the city centre.

Around midday, returning to the hotel leaves time to rest rather than adding another sightseeing stop. The outdoor pool on the fourth floor offers a place to unwind, while InBalance Spa on the sixth floor opens from 09:00 to 21:00 for an afternoon of massage and Han River views.

By late afternoon, Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026 becomes the focus of the day. After some time in your room, get ready and take a taxi or ride-hailing service from the Bach Dang area across to Vo Nguyen Giap Street, arriving at Furama Resort Danang before the programme begins at 18:00.

The Oktoberfest atmosphere at Furama Resort Danang offers a lively contrast to the quieter afternoon by the river. Communal tables, cold beer, a German buffet and stage performances gradually build the energy, allowing the five-hour programme to become the day’s main experience rather than a brief stop on a busy itinerary.

After 23:00, the journey back to Novotel Danang Premier brings the second day to a natural close. Moving from the festivities to your riverside room offers a welcome moment of calm after five hours of music and activity.

Day 3: A Slow Morning After the Festivities

Saturday can begin a little later, with the weekend breakfast buffet at The Square served until 11:00. After a lively evening, a lingering breakfast, a coffee and views of the riverside city are an inviting way to spend the final day, without filling the morning from the outset.

If you would still like to head out before leaving Da Nang, the city centre makes it easy to fit in a short visit to Han Market or another stroll along Bach Dang Street without travelling far. This keeps the morning relaxed, with time to return to the hotel, rest a little longer and pack before the 12:00 check-out.

For an October trip to Oktoberfest Da Nang, the appeal extends beyond the festival evening to the time spent unwinding before and afterwards. Three days and two nights allow for a riverside arrival, a full day combining the beach and Oktoberfest, and a leisurely final morning that brings the trip to an unhurried close.

A Few Small Touches for an Easier Oktoberfest Evening

A quick look at the official ticketing page before your trip gives you the latest prices and availability without spending too much time on preparations. With the programme running from 18:00 to 23:00, an afternoon of rest leaves more energy for the day’s main occasion.

For those who enjoy dressing for the festivities, a dirndl or lederhosen is a playful choice, without needing to become a requirement for the whole group. Choose an outfit inspired by Bavarian traditions or simply wear something comfortable for five hours of dinner and music.

With beer playing a central role in the programme, a taxi or ride-hailing service makes the evening’s travel easier. Back at the hotel, there is little need for another plan: some time to unwind beside the river is enough to bring the day to a relaxed holiday close.

Turn Your Oktoberfest Weekend Into a Han River Escape

A trip for Oktoberfest Da Nang 2026 can extend well beyond the event’s five-hour programme. At Novotel Danang Premier Han River, the day can begin with river views, move on to the beach or city centre, build towards an evening at the festival and slow down again when you return to your room.

The hotel has 328 rooms and suites, along with 90 serviced apartments, to suit different kinds of stays. In this itinerary, GourmetBar sets the scene for the first evening, the pool or InBalance Spa offers time to rest before the event, and The Square keeps mornings leisurely.

For an Oktoberfest trip with time to unwind beside the Han River, Novotel Danang Premier Han River offers a place to begin the day slowly, rest after the celebrations and enjoy more experiences within the hotel. Explore the room categories and choose the dates that suit your early October getaway.
